Two wrongs don't make a right, finger pointing isn't going to protect American interest.
yet that's the way we think nowdays.
I don't see things changing.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said today the Iraqi government was briefed in advance of Defense Secretary Ash Carter's announcement that teams of U.S. special operators could be in Iraq in a matter of weeks.

The “specialized expeditionary targeting force" will consist of approximately 200 special forces personnel, according to officials familiar with the plans aimed at striking the brain trust and nervous system of the Islamic State terror group.

In response, "We do not need foreign ground combat forces on Iraqi land," Iraq Prime Minister Haider al-Abbadi said.

So we’re damned if we do and we’re damned if we don’t. We send our military to fight Isis, but the push back comes from Isis and the government of Iraq.

And then these alternative press conspiracy theorists in the United States, repeating every dumb Iraqi rumor and spouting nonsense about Americans supporting Isis. Its a quagmire. An information nightmare.

But our motives remain honorable. Obama wants out. But he knows Isis will prevail in the aftermath. And so he commits more troops, even though he doesn’t want to, in order to prevent the blood bath.

Alex Jones and Infowars and their ilk are like the tabloids. They feed on rumors, and sound bites, and rely on kid journalists propounding every crazy argument, but they’re rarely worth a nod by the adults.

What do you think your precious Trump will do differently? Because so far he has only said that he would "encircle the enemy and bomb them" to death, which is, essentially, exactly what we do now, and which is also the stated favored strategy of Clinton. He also says he would bring back waterboarding, which will be difficult to do from the air. I'm not saying we haven't made mistakes in the middle east. God. Its all mistakes. From bush and cheney right thru the current administration. But what will change under Trump, or H. Clinton?

From the Guardian >>> Then South African President Thabo Mbeki tried in vain to convince both Tony Blair and President George W Bush that toppling Saddam Hussein in 2003 would be a terrible mistake. He warned that the wholesale removal of Saddam’s Ba’ath party could lead to a national resistance to the occupying coalition forces. Ex-President Nelson Mandela called former President Bush Sr, and Bush Sr called his son the president to advise him to take Mandela’s call. Mandela had no impact. He was so incensed he gave an uncomfortable comment to the cameras: ‘President Bush doesn’t know how to think,’ he said with visible anger.”
==========================================================================
Bush the Elder has tried to exonerate GWB by blaming Cheney and Rummy for GWB's intellectually poor decisions.

The facts are clear that the USA and their Puppets including Turkey have wanted to replace Assad. Supposedly, ISIS is making millions off of the oil fields they control. OK, so who are they selling the oil to??? This would not seem to be difficult to determine if the McMega-Media really wanted to find out.

The Corporate Pressitutes are trotting out one self styled "Expert" after another with the typical War Hawk mentality, more bombing, special forces and blah, blah, blah.
Remember when Iraq and Iran were at war in the 1980's. We were tilted to Iraq, but we also had the Iran-Contra deals going on at the same time with Israel in the mix. If that was not enough deception, the ties between the Contras and Drug Dealing was going on.

The Web of Lies just continues.

Of course, the US is behind ISIS.

The real story is that Israel is behind the US.

Only the Iraqis believe this. Rumors run rampant. Interpretation of the big picture is complicated. One has to forgive the perception that if the CIA is arming and training insurgents that are fighting the Syrian army on many fronts, that is helping ISIS, which also wants Assad out. How do we turn a blind eye to allegations of ISIS trucks selling oil to Turkey? Is Turkey helping ISIS? When the Yazidis were running for their lives, trapped on a hilltop facing slaughter, and we dropped food and water to them so they wouldn’t starve until we could open safe passage for their escape, and then later the Isis troops swarmed in and stole the leftover supplies, were we really “helping Isis”? In the fog of war things get complicated. Iraqis don’t understand why the US doesn’t charge in and save them; why Mosul and Ramadi fall and no one comes to the rescue. They can only believe we don’t care, or we secretly help the other side. But that doesn’t make these perceptions true.

Maybe you can get cheney and bush and rumsfeld back to fix it all, they did so well the first time around, now that was deception. How many americans got their legs blasted off because of dick cheney's lies?
